Newton's
Second Law describes: The acceleration of an object is directly
proportional and in the same direction as the net force on the object
but inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The experiment
will investigate this relationship by pushing and pulling a dynamics cart
back-and-forth on a level track using data-logging equipment.

2. Objective

Investigate
the relationship of the force exerted on a cart, the mass of
the cart and the acceleration of the cart as it moves.
